TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to products to relieve pain. The inventionpresented here is not ingested nor is it inserted beyond the skin of thebody. It is preferred that the devices be used only external of theouter skin and have been shown to be effective at pain relief in thatmanner.

A pain relief item is also disclosed that is a light therapy device, butwith projection of LED bulbs within close proximity of a scalar wavematerial. The combination of these two items when placed near the bodywill relieve pain on a more accelerated basis than standard lighttherapy device.

BACKGROUND Description of Prior Art

Pain relief has long been known to be a challenge around the world. Manyareas of medicine are using chemicals and a diversity of electricalimpulse devices. Recent information confirms that someelectro-biomedical devices actually destroy nearby nerves while reliefof pain is observed. Some others use lasers which are noted to destroythe tertiary cell structure. Opioids are now too dangerous andaddictive.

We have seen many light therapy devices attempted in the last fewdecades which have had an impact on pain relief world-wide but each hasits specific limitations or deficiencies.

Red light therapy has been identified to be used previously to somedegree in accelerated healing of tissue and pain relief. Green lighttherapy is used in sleep disorders and autism. Key areas of study in themilitary are related to improve cures of PSTD and PTSD. Blue light isused in oral related needs. In skin care, however, blue light has beenshown to destroy hair follicles thereby retarding hair growth.

Prior art devices function off of electrical impulses or penetrating thehuman body with extreme energy waves from a separate power source.

SUMMARY

The present invention functions in harmony with the human body.

The basic layer combination (copper tape, PVDF, and polarized film) is avery flexible item with numerous potential uses in medical care. It canbe embedded as a laminated or cloth enclosed item into any and allvariation of wraps or wellness products. It can also have a significantpolymer base for each component which will reduce costs and potentiallyalso lessen weight.

A quick description of options will be discussed here for pain relief inareas of the wrist, elbow, knee, arm, shoulder, chest, fingers,headaches and other sources of inflammatory pain. Also, the presentinvention can be helpful to relieve pain from, for example, arthritis,back pain, burns, bursitis, bites, broken bones, chest pain, cramps,cuts, depression, fibromyalgia, headaches, hiccups, heel spurs, hotflashes, heart palpitation, joint pain, kidney stone pain, menstrualpain, muscles aches, migraines, neuropathy, post-surgery sores, sorethroat, sinus pain, scoliosis, shoulder pain, stiff neck, sprains,stitches, tattoo pain, tooth aches, tremors, ear aches, and pain fromvarious foot ailments (including arthritis). As best as it is currentlyunderstood, the invention relieves inflammatory pain on at least atemporary basis.

Improvements have also been found in the area of peripheral neuralgia,varicose vein pain, ecchymosis, Reynaud phenomena, skin disorders, hearthealth, brain health and TMJ. Immediate micro-circulation andmicro-current has been found to occur.

In many cases a piece of the basic layer combination placed on Scotch®Reusable pads can be used to best position the basic layer combinationbefore the person's wrap is placed on the body.

A custom designed wrap will embed the invention layer as describedbelow. Products can also be disposed in a belt form for other major painrelief needs for back pain, menstrual cramps, and neck and/or shoulderdiscomfort.

Other methods of providing convenience and ease of use have beendescribed below. The invention may be in the form of a simple keychainadaptation or as a flexible cloth, to be used in areas such as sinusesor tooth pain relief on the side of the face or lower jaw area. Aneffective adaptation of the basic layers is to be able to aid inrelieving pain in the feet, helping any discomfort which may bother theindividual in that area of pain with a simple adaptation of theinvention layer in a secured form. This can be used under any shoeinsert, insoles or orthotics, either beneath a sole, between the foot(or a sock) and the sole, within a sock, or even attached to the outsideof the shoe. An extremely thin invention basic layer (such asapproximately 16 mil thickness) can be used.

A clip and string can be added to the card with the basic layer for safekeeping when not in use.

Direct skin contact is not necessary, but with the device of the presentinvention, no adverse effects have been noted to date with direct skinor elevated within an active range elevated from the skin.

The invention uses the basic layers as a resonator of the ultra-lowreverberation of the body tissue energy. An improved light therapydevice can be provided as the basic layers deflect an LED source atobscure angles. The tri-polymer basic layers combination (polarizer,PVDF-film and copper tape) have obtained faster pain relief inprojecting LED bulbs in a close field proximity, as an accelerator forLED light therapy.

The energy from the LED bulbs project at obscure angles towards thebody, offering better treatment. The cellular frequency projected to thePVDF film and back is now penetrating deeper by the frequency of the LEDbulbs and able to obtain stable and safe inflammatory pain reliefquickly.

The LED bulbs are combined in a way that they complement the basiclayers to help pain relief. Best utilization of the LED and thematerials in the basic tri-layer combination having a polymericfoundation cause a very positive reaction on the body cellular and painrelief mechanisms.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Most relevant advantages of the invention are that it is non-invasive(below the skin) and drug-free (not ingested). Some of the otheradvantages have been previously mentioned above.

A major advantage is that the basic layers disclosed below can improveany product in the market today. It can be packaged to meet anyconfiguration with LED devices.

The combined elements (LED bulbs and the basic layers) may also beincorporated into other wellness products to help accelerate relief orhealing.

The copper tape layer acts as a reflective shield against loss of filmactivity away from the intended area of treatment, and can have apolymeric base to lower costs and lessen weight. Copper and silver areboth noble metals which both have an extra electron in the outer orbit,thus causing e-spin/plasmon resonance. The latter is the cause ofresonance with the human cell structure and mechanism. Other noblemetals can also be used, but tend to be more expensive and, in normalcases, currently cost-prohibitive at this time.

One of the tri-layers used in the preferred embodiment of this inventionis silver doped PVDF, again a polymeric foundation.

The third item in this tri-layer is a polarizer to make the field offrequency more effective and focused when being used near the body,again with a potentially polymeric foundation.

The total sealing of the tri-layer is a benefit in using it any waynecessary or combined in any structure as required. As shown previously,no metallic covering is to be used. The covering in the preferredembodiment should be less than 1/16th inch thick. During the totalprocess where the tri-layer is used, the temperature should not exceed130 degrees F. Once this item is completed it is placed in closeproximity to the LED bulbs.

The PVDF layer is a particularly effective material when used in theinvention. Its proximity to the LED bulbs is also believed to besignificant when used in that combination with any light therapy device.Both the PVDF and the LED bulbs have functional properties as related tocellular body tissue. The PVDF film is very significant due to itsfunctional properties as related to cellular body tissue.

These properties are as follows:

-   -   Frequency: 1-2 Hertz.    -   Acoustic impedance is the same as human tissue. The physical        nature is that it is hydrophobic (stabilizing thermodynamics of        nearby H2O molecules) a generator of entropy. The basic nature        of PVDF is the sensitivity to low energy changes. i.e. pressure,        temperature, vibration and very low level disturbances.

The unique function of PVDF makes it suitable for the purpose of painrelief and possibly long term relief.

The nature of the LED's is that they are a standard configured bulb inRed, Green or Blue. Each designates a clearly defined frequency ofenergy. Also Purple bulbs (near-UV) can have certain applications.

The unique function of the PVDF film makes it suitable for the purposeof pain relief and possibly long-term relief.

If skin contact is available, it is probably best to do so, but notbelieved to be necessarily required. The field of effect is a range fromapproximately ¾″ to 1″ at one end and zero at the other end of therange, which meets the requirement for positive results. The LED bulbswill further penetrate up to 2″ in depth in providing energy to allnearby cells.

Using the device through clothing is fine, but not as quick in elapsedtime to result in pain relief in a designated area.

In non-clinical trials, all of the above methods/products of the presentinvention were conclusive with positive results.

Based on all the results of our trials it is best stated in thefollowing statement. In general application of the invention to causepain relief, our belief is that the PVDF film acts in similar reflectivefashion as one would use radar and/or a mirror. Some information as tothis possibility can be seen in time-reversal signaling. Withinteraction with or without the LED bulbs the invention is believed tobe very effective for pain relief.

This is an observation due to results when the invention is used nearthe body. Cellular frequencies projected from the body are activatingthe PVDF film as a sponge. With its high sensitivity it becomes moreactive, thus projecting this newly focused energy back into the body.The frequencies at play are positive energy from the body, thereforemore positive energy is reflected back for absorption by the cell.

The frequencies exchanged in this manner signal the cells which are indistress, that there is new energy available to regenerate itself andnot be a source of pain.

Based on Dr. K. Meyl (THE NEW TESLA) in his analysis of the new physics,he proves the energy fields transmitted in nature are scalarwaves/vortices. He also proves in biology that this type ofenergy/frequency is the fundamental basis of cellular communication.Scalar waves are a combination of electrical energy and electromagneticwave propagation.

In the disclosure of the invention here, in some embodiments lightenergy is added to this affect by using LED bulbs as such an energysource external to the body.

This new area of scientific study of LED bulb energy generally is beingproven more and more worldwide today. It is believed that the totalfunctionality of the PVDF film in the invention is now added to this newarea of science, which along with LED light therapy cuts the treatmenttime by about ⅕ to 1/10th. In this way we can also now understand betterwhy it is so effective in relation to human tissue regeneration and tohelp relieve pain.

FIGS. 1 through 5 are included in U.S. patent application No. and thedescription is incorporated into this application. The layers describedin that application are the “basic layers” as that term is used inthroughout this application. The use of the basic layers with an LEDlight source.

The top and bottom covers can be of any material other than metallic incomposition. The invention can be surrounded by laminating or bound intwo pieces of sports tape. It may also be incorporated into otherwellness products to help accelerate relief or healing.

The copper tape acts as a reflective shield against loss of filmactivity away from the body. Copper is also an enhancement to theinvention in that it is also a generator of resonance.

Copper and silver are both noble metals which both have an extraelectron in the outer orbit, thus e-spin/plasmon resonance exists. Thelatter is the cause of resonance with the body.

The PVDF used in this invention is preferably silver doped.

The polarizer polymer is used to make this resonance more effective whenbeing used.

The total sealing of the copper tape/PVDF film/polarizer become oneintegrated item. As previously shown the coverings maybe made of anymaterial other than metallic materials. The coverings must be less than1/16th inch thick. During the process of sealing the temperature mustnot exceed 130 degrees F. It is preferred that the covering is flexibleto conform against the surface of the body to which it is applied,although some stiffness in the credit card sized package is manageablefor use in relief of headaches and other inflammatory pain.

When the invention is used near the body, cellular frequencies areprojected out and PVDF film with high sensitivity becomes more active,thus causing positive frequency feedback. The frequencies exchanged inthis manner signal to the cells which are in dysfunction that there isnew energy available to regenerate themselves.

Once the three components copper tape 10 (¾″×2″ as shown), polarizer 12(⅓″×1¾″ as shown), and PVDF film 14 (⅓″×1¾″ as shown) are bound togetheras ITEM A, it may be used in a number of different ways as demonstratedin the following pictures. For all the samples the ITEM A has beenghosted. In actual use the ITEM A is preferred to be enclosed withoutvisual detection such as the cover or enclosure in FIG. 1 which would benon-metallic and have the cover portions 16 and 18 heat sealed orotherwise bonded together.

If the polarizer 12 is disposed on only one side of PVDF film 14, thenthere will be directionality to the device wherein the side of thedevice having the polarizer would be the side that would face the body(toward the skin) as set forth in FIG. 1 and the B (body) side. Suchdirectionality would be noted on the packaging for the device to explainto the user that one side of the device faces the body (or skin) and theother side faces away from the body (or skin). It is also anticipatedthat the device may be manufactured with a PVDF film and polarizercombination on both sides of a copper strip, which would eliminate anyneed for directionality.

An alternative to ITEM A would be ITEM B as shown in FIGS. 2 and 2A. Astrip of PVDF film is dipped on both sides into a bath of polyvinylalcohol combined with iodine (to cause a polarizing effect) as apolarizing layer 21 and 23 on both sides of the PVDF film 14. Then thePVDF is sprayed with conductive copper to create a layer on both sides20 and 22 to eliminate the copper tape 10 of ITEM A to create ITEM B.The assembly of the packaging and handling is made that much easier withthe combined ITEM B device. Also, ITEM B would not have such adirectionality issue, and would work effectively in either direction (oneither side) as applied to the body. ITEM B, however, could be sprayedon one side only and provide the same benefits as ITEM A but bedirectional.

FIGS. 2B. 2C, and 2D demonstrate the application of invention withexisting wrist joint wrap 30, elbow joint wrap 32 and knee joint wrap34. In these images the ITEM A or ITEM B is ghosted and preferablybetween the wrap and the skin in contact with the skin, but it is notnecessary to make contact with the skin, but may be attached on theoutside of wrap as deemed necessary (via Velcro packaging, sports tapeor some like functional attachment). Based on analysis to date, it isunderstood that the effectiveness of the invention in this form canoccur in a range from at least one-half inch from the outer skin of thebody up to contact with the body and through porous material such as awrap. It is not limited to joints, but, in fact, is believed to beeffective in response to any inflammatory pain that the body wouldexpress where the acoustic impedance of the device is the same as humantissue (or nerves) that emanate from inflammatory pain. A wrap in theforearm for tennis elbow, a thigh wrap, a calf wrap, an ankle brace, aback wrap, and a myriad of other options exist for placement of theinvention on the pain site or at a meridian (as defined in acupunctureand similar disciplines) controlling or otherwise impacting the painsite.

FIGS. 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, and 3E demonstrate different configurations ofsaid invention as packaged. Additional configurations are shown in FIGS.6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, 6E, 6F, 6G, 6H, 6I, 11, 12A, 13, 14, and 15.

FIG. 3A demonstrates that ITEM A or B can be embedded on adhesive tape,such as sports tape 50. Once the ITEM A or ITEM B product is placed onthe tape, the tape can then be placed on any part of the body where thepain emanates from, on any pain meridian that would normally be used foracupuncture therapy or even a combination thereof. Another option mightbe to place the ITEM A or B into the gauze of an adhesive bandage 52 asshown in FIG. 3B to place the invention in the desired location. Theinvention can also be used effectively with KT Tape such as thatsupplied by KT Health LLC and shown as 150 in FIG. 5 where ITEM A orITEM B would be placed between the tape and the skin for specificplacement at a source of inflammatory pain as determined by the personor therapist who defines the pain site and enhance whatever therapeuticadvantages are supplied by the KT Tape itself.

FIG. 3C illustrates that the packaging can include a credit card sizedouter layer 60 that could be transported in any sleeve 62 (or wallet) orother location accessible to a user. In this form, it is available to auser at all times. For example, if a user has a headache (migraine orotherwise), the user can take the credit card sized package 60 and applyit by hand to the forehead, back of the neck or other placement in orderto obtain temporary pain relief for the headache, which many times alsorelieves the headache itself. This could be placed via tape or othermechanism to hold it in place. The place of application might also be tothe cheek or other area around the mouth (outside of the skin) if thereis dental pain that needs to be temporarily alleviated due to somedental incident or dental procedure. A user could also place the creditcard sized device 60 within a carrier or package that might alreadyexist near the pain site, such as the portion of a brassiere near thesite of some back pain, or a portion of a belt or flexible portion ofclothing near a pain site in the abdomen or lower back. Such activitycould be used as an alternative to adhesive tape or other attachmentdevices.

Due to the fact that ITEM A or ITEM B is flexible, it can be used anywellness or therapeutic application where inflammatory pain is involved.

Following examples show our present configuration of ITEM A sealed in alaminate. FIG. 3C illustrates the invention in a credit card sized orsmaller package 60 that can be placed in association within a shoe 70 torelieve inflammatory foot pain. The ITEM A or ITEM B can be attached tothe outside of the shoe 70 (as shown in FIG. 3D) or can be placedanywhere as selected on the inside of the shoe 70. It may be placedbetween the shoe 70 and the shoe insole. It may be placed on the insoleof the shoe 70 either fixed or loosely held in place by the foot (eitherwith a sock on the foot or sockless).

With new location designs such as pocketing of ITEM A once sealed, weare looking at simple and convenient ways of using this invention.

Additional designs include FIGS. 3D and 3E to demonstrate differentconfigurations of said invention as packaged. Additional configurationsare shown in FIGS. 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, 6E, 6F, 6G, 6H, 6I, 11, 12A, 13, 14,and 15.

For example, the device 160 of FIG. 6A has ITEM A or ITEM B embedded ina wrap 162 and positioned to relieve the pain of tennis elbow or similarmaladies on a human arm 164. In FIG. 6B, the device 170 (as ITEM A orITEM B) is used for treatment of headaches, particularly migraineheadaches, by the manual placement of the ITEM A or ITEM B device 170 atthe location of the pain on the forehead 172 (or otherwise), oralternatively at the acupuncture pressure point that is associated withthe location of the pain by hand 174 or alternatively by affixing thedevice 170 by adhesive tape, such as masking tape or other adhesivetape. FIG. 6D discloses the device 180 (ITEM A or ITEM B) located on theshoulder 182 to relieve shoulder pain with the placement locationdetermination by the existing clothing in that area, such as a suspender184 (as shown), a brassiere strap or the like, although it has beenfound that placement of a card in the form of ITEM A or ITEM B can beheld even by a shirt if the wearer is not actively moving to dislodgethe item.

FIG. 6E indicates the use of a device 190 (ITEM A or ITEM B) on thechest 192 for muscle pain, or, in some cases, relief of inflammatorypain from other issues, such as those relating to heart ailments. FIG.6F illustrates the use of the device 195 (ITEM A or ITEM B) can be assimple as holding the device 195 against a knuckle 197, a finger 198 or199, or other source of inflammatory pain to resolve the pain at leaston a temporary basis.

FIGS. 6H and 6I illustrate the use of the device 200 (ITEM A or ITEM B)embedded in a belt or other wrap 202 around the waistline 204 of a humanbody. The belt or wrap 202 can be a Velcro attached expandable stretchwrap or even a standard non-expandable belt as desired. In FIG. 6H, thebelt or wrap 202 has a strip of the device 200 (ITEM A or ITEM B)extending preferably for approximately eleven inches, and is used totreat the inflammatory pain of menstrual cramps and the like with theplacement of the device 200 at the front of the body. In FIG. 6I, thewrap 206 is used against the back 210 of a human body to relieveinflammatory pain from any muscular or skeletal issue in that area.

The device can also improve current items which entail wellness healing.

As shown in FIG. 4, with a red laser light therapy product 100, thedevice of the present invention is able to cut usage times required bymanufacturers of red laser therapy devices (pulsed or non-pulsed) downby at least half the amount of time. Half the time is required with ITEMA or ITEM B embedded into or otherwise attached to the light therapydevice where the laser is directed through the ITEM A or ITEM B as shownin FIG. 5, where 100 is the source of the laser and the arrowsdemonstrate the direction of treatment toward the body (or skin). Asdescribed here, the ITEM A or ITEM B can be placed in between the redlaser light source and the body however the user determines it to bepackaged as long as the laser light runs through ITEM A or ITEM B priorto reaching the body (or skin).

In using this invention the time required near body application are asfollows: For headaches approximately 30-60 seconds. Other aches use ininflammatory pain area for about 2-5 minutes. More severe inflammatorypain may take 20 to 30 minutes. For continuous use, 6-8 hours mayrelieve severe pain within this time frame.

FIG. 7A illustrates the use of the basic layers 250 with an array 252 ofLED bulbs 254. The array 252 can include a variety of externalpackaging, but it would be preferable to have a transparent plasticcovering as described in other embodiments of this invention here alongwith a battery power source and switching mechanism to engage the power.The basic layers 250 (ITEM A or ITEM B) can be honeycombed around thearray 252 within the packaging at an intermediate point in the LED bulbs254 as shown in FIG. 7C to form a lattice 256 around the LED bulbs 254.

FIG. 7B discloses an alternate version of FIG. 7A where the basic layer260 is configured as a wire and wrapped around LED bulbs 262 in an array264 to still establish close proximity as frequency binding for painrelief. Again this would be packaged in a transparent or translucenthard case along with a battery power source and switching mechanism toengage the power.

FIG. 8A, as an elevated perspective view, shows a basic and simpleconfiguration of one embodiment of an accelerated light therapy device300 of the present invention. LED bulbs 302 (preferably Red, but may beGreen or Blue in certain circumstances) are shown in an array 308through a light window 304 within a two piece case 301 and 303. FIG. 8Bis a reversed elevated perspective view of FIG. 8A to show the on/offswitch 310 or the positioning of a similar control. Case access may bemade via an access hole 312, which may also aid in the separation of thetop 301 and bottom 303 for service, such as replacement of the LED bulbs302 or power source/battery 315 which is conventionally wired to thebulbs 302 via the array 308.

In FIG. 8C the internal items and positions of items are shown withinthe casing 301, 303 of the device 300. FIG. 8A, 8B, or 8C can includeone to three LED bulbs 302 as the source of light therapy, incombination with the basic tri-layer in association with the LED bulbs302. The bulbs 302 preferably are sprayed with a Spray Diffuser (such asFrosted Glass Spray Paint by RUST-OLEUM®). As shown in FIG. 8D, there isa clear window 304 with only the polarizer 320 in the direct path of theLED bulbs 302. The other two layers 322, 324 (PVDF layer as describedabove in either a PVDF combination with copper tape or sprayed with apolymer based copper layer (such as KRYLON® Copper Spray Paint)) is setadjacent the window 304 and has been found to energize the LED bulbs 302as well as reflect any inflammatory pain it encounters. The power sourceis a three volt coin shaped battery 315 wired to the bulbs 302 in aconventional manner. The LED bulbs 302 energy partners with the plasmonresonance of the tri-layer 320, 322, 324 to accelerate the projectionand impact on the body.

In FIG. 8D, the LED bulbs 302 and the window 304 are covered by the fulltri-layer with the polarizer layer 320 facing the body while the device300 is in use, then the PVDF layer 322—is disposed (preferably coated asa polymer/copper layer 324 on at least one side of the PVDF layer 322with the KRYLON® Copper Spray Paint) as the next layers away from thebody as the device 300 is in use, and then the LED bulbs 302 as shown.In this case the light energizes the layers 320, 322, 324 which, inturn, generates more energy to be projected to cells. The LED bulbs 302have all three layers between the LED bulbs 302 and the window 304 asshown schematically in FIG. 9. FIG. 8 also indicates the generallocation 330 of the LED bulbs 302 and the layers 320, 322, 324 in a sideview of the device.

FIG. 8G (along with FIG. 10) offers another alternative taking a moreelapsed time consuming method in providing light therapy. By using awater filter 326 as the layer between the body and the layers 320, 322,324 (toward the body when in use), a slower field of resonance occurs,which can be desired in certain situations. FIG. 8G shows the placementof the layers used in this embodiment of the invention but with a filtercomponent as an additional layer to control the amount of energy flowinginto the body. The polarizer film 320 is approximately 12 mil inthickness and an area of 1 and ½″ square. The PVDF film 322 isapproximately same size, but only 28 um in thickness. It is coated withthe copper spray paint on one side as shown schematically in FIG. 10,but could be painted on both sides or replaced with a copper tape about3 mil in thickness to measure out at about same area as the otherlayers. The water filter 326 has a variety of possibilities, but it iscurrently determined that it have a thickness less than or equal to thethinnest layer and held in a conventional manner with the casing 301 viaa suitable container that would not permit leakage as shownschematically in FIG. 10. The LED bulbs 302 can be Red, Green or Blue.

FIG. 7A provides a simple method in high production and/or quickadaptation of the layers 250 (polarizer, PVDF, copper) to other wellnessproducts. By using a lattice pattern 256 to have the LED bulbs 254 sitin the tri-layer lattice 256 would be in even plane with the LED bulbs254, as shown in FIG. 7C. The lattice pattern 256 would sit at anintermediate position along the axis of each LED bulb 254. The latticepattern 256 can alternatively be in the form of a honeycomb to furtherenhance/accelerate the capabilities of the device.

FIG. 7B demonstrates the use of PVDF wire 260 sprayed with a coppercompound (KRYLON® Copper Paint Spray set in a polymeric base) toestablish a second layer 261 on the wire 260. The PVDF wire 260 andsecond layer 261 are then wrapped around the LED bulbs 262 in an array264, which would still establish close proximity as frequency bindingfor pain relief and create a lattice or honeycomb effect.

In FIG. 15, and as applied in FIGS. 6C and 6G, is a novel andhygienically safe device are shown as an external light therapy devicefor ear pain or Meniere's or similar afflictions (FIG. 6C), or anexternal (as shown) nasal/sinus pain light therapy device. The optionsavailable on the market which do not utilize the invention tend to becumbersome and/or ineffective. As shown in FIG. 15, the end portion 400comprises a pulsing LED bulb mechanism 402 surrounded by a layered film404 of the present invention configured into a bulbous shape to surroundthe pulsing LED bulb 405 or bulb array. The mechanism 402 is attached toa power source 406, such as a 2-2032 battery in a casing 408, via aninsulated wire 410. The power source would also have an on/off switch412 or similar control. FIG. 6C illustrates such a mechanism 402 withtwo branches 414, 416 (one for each ear) controlled by a control box 418via insulated wire 420. Each side or branch 414, 416 would have an endportion 400 of the layered film 404 to surround an LED bulb 405 or bulbarray, so that it can be conveniently wrapped around each ear 422 tohold the end portions 400 in place, as well as place it in atherapeutically effective area, such as behind each ear 422 as shown. InFIG. 6G, the end portion 400 is placed at or near the area where it canrelief nasal or sinus pain, such as that area shown in FIG. 6G. It isanticipated that such a device could be disposed internally into thenostril to relieve pain through mucous membranes, but effective painrelief has been found to be evident using the device as shown externallyof the skin without entering the nostril.

FIG. 11 illustrates the invention in a device 450 with a holder 452where a part of the body, such as a hand or a wrist can be positioned ina relaxed manner adjacent the holder 452, and the device 450 can impartenergy into the area of inflammatory pain or other light therapy asneeded. As shown in FIG. 11A, the head portion 454 of the device 450 hasLED bulbs 456 transmitting energy through a tri-layer 458 of PVDF coatedcopper with the polarizing layer against the lens 460 of the device.

FIGS. 12A, 12B, and 12C illustrate another embodiment of the inventioncomprising a device 500 including a plastic case 502 preferably made ofred plastic that permits the energy from LED bulbs 504 to pass afteralso passing through the tri-layer 506, 508, 510 in the manner shown. Aclip 512 may be included with the device 500 to help position the device500 or store the device 500 as needed. The polarizer layer 506 isdisposed along the full length of the inside surface of the side 514 ofthe device 500 directed toward the body. Interior of the polarizer layer506, two strips 508, 510 of a combined PVDF coated with copper aredisposed. Preferably the strips (each 508, 510) are disposed on eachside of the LED bulbs 504 so that a space exists between the strips(each 508, 510), although it is also anticipated that the strips (each508, 510) could be one sheet extending across the LED bulbs 504consistent with descriptions above in other embodiments. It is alsoanticipated that only one strip may be used and be effective as needed.The LED bulbs 504 can also be sprayed with a diffusion (Frosted Glass byRUST-OLEUM®). The LED bulbs 504 are controlled by a conventional button516 connected to a control 518 for the LED bulbs 504 to provide theoptions of stay on continuously, flash/pulse, or shut off as the button516 is pushed in a selected order. With this device, three ultrabritered LED bulbs 504 can also be used if a heightened effect is desired forselected therapies. The device 500 is powered by two small batteries(not shown) as designed to power the LED bulbs 504 as needed or anyother variation thereof.

FIGS. 13 (and 13A) and FIGS. 14 (and 14A) illustrate additionalalternatives where a typical LED bulb device 550 such as an emergencylight triangle as sold by ACO Hardware or Harbor Freight, for example,can be transformed into a useful, therapeutic, light therapy device. InFIG. 13A, the layers are a polarizing layer 552 and a green celluloselayer 554 to provide nominal wavelength are disposed on the lens 564 ofthe device 550 and secured by tape 562 on the outside of the lens 564.When used with white LED bulbs 556, the unit has found effectivenesswith PTSD and PSTD therapies.
